Gonzalo was amazing. He was here for a month and did incredible work. I could not believe that he had so many skills and had a great work ethic. He did electrical work and checked and changed light fittings in all five bathrooms making them safer.

Gonzalo was an absolute gem to host. Very proactive and self motivated. His skill set was second to non, it was amazing to see what he could do.
The other advantage that was brilliant was he spoke fluent Spanish which really helped in communication with our WiFi company.
Was really sad to see him go and there will always be a home for him here.

Gonzalo was a wonderful guest and we were sorry to see him go. From the start he was willing to help with anything. He was also very polite and we could not have asked for a better guest.
We feel that after nearly two weeks with us we will remain in touch as friends and have said to him that he will always be welcome to come and stay.

It was an unforgetable experience with them! I had a very very nice stay. I really appreciate their kindness and good humor. Nice cultural exchange. I stayed for almost two weeks and I did some painting and barnishing. My room was incredible! We visited the surroundings and we went to some nice Pubs as well.

It was a fantastic experience with Adam and Pearl in their beautiful house boat! I stayed for 2 weeks. We could carry out many tasks that we planned to do: paint the windows and celling, service the engine, and try to recover an old engine. Besides working we had time off and went climbing and to a gig in Bristol. I had a great time with them!

It was fantastic to have Gonzalo with us for a few weeks. From the beginning to end, communication was clear and uncomplicated. He is polite and respectful, and we had many good conversations. He takes on responsibilities in a natural way and has a very practical mindset. It was hard to let him go! We miss him !
